I'd like to see an article about horses and horse owners in disasters. Horse (and other large animal owners) pose a significant problem in evacuation plans, as many are unwilling to leave their animals behind. This in turn affects the relief effort, as these people and their livestock may need rescue after the disaster.

If I ever get the energy, I may start one with my experience in the Hurricane Andrew Horse Relief Effort and with the Disaster Animal Response Team (D.A.R.T., not to be confused with the Canadian D.A.R.T. which was formed three years later.)

If you worked in the Hurricane Andrew Horse Relief Effort and can help me remember details, let me know. If you have issues of Western Horseman, Equus, or Arabian Horse Express magazines from that era, please look for articles about the hurricane and send them to me here.
